[SpinLyme] (NEJM's Drazen) The cat's already out of the bag. We
don't *need* American "science."

Don't worry about it. As a result of the process of stifling
scientific
truths (eg. Lyme and Gulf War illness), and the failure of
BigPharma to address the REAL issues (global warming
and new, emerging, and hospital resistant infections), using
ProVigil for troops as new kind of biological weapon (see the
BBC), all the total bullshit coming out of America in every
direction, the American economy irrecoverably in the toilet,
all Americans can now be moviestars, dancers and singers.

"Science" is a joke and the "journals" have long been worth
less than toilet paper. There's nothing new here.

Has Jeffrey Drazen (head of NEJM) said a word about Klempner's
secret haplotype, even though we've all heard about it for months?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPn_T9qy4C0&mode=related&search=
Has he said anything about the CDC's patents in Europe
with SmithKline where they talk about MHC-restricted and non
restricted antibodies?
http://v3.espacenet.com/family?DB=EPODOC&IDX=WO9324145&F=8&OREQ=0&textdoc=TRUE

Drazen is the head of the Mass Med ical Society who publishes
NEJM and not a one of them there ever reads their own journal.

We all know all about global warming. Lyme Borreliosis is
an African Relapsing Fever. Now they're worried about Chagas
in the American blood supply. It's an African sleeping sickness.
We tear down buildings all the time due to molds. Just follow
the insurance industry if you want the *real* science.

Kaiser-Permanente bailed out New York Medical College and immediately
thereafter they founded the "American Lyme Disease Foundation."

http://xnet.kp.org/permanentejournal/spring98pj/strategy.html
"The leaders from New York Medical College and Kaiser Permanente
engaged in this
collaboration to provide what they view as a much needed educational
program
that will stimulate learning for all involved, including the staff and
patients
at the HMO as well as the faculty in the Residency Training Program.
They are also interested in the development of more informed attitudes
about managed care. The program provides residents with an additional
ambulatory
training site in a large private practice environment with a large
established
population."

Kaiser is *** still there,*** literally writing the training modules
for MDs.

The Rowlandgate Bantam Lake "US Attorney" still has this Kaiser
MD- training data from 3 years ago... ..

New publishing rules restrict scientists

By JOHN HEILPRIN
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration is clamping down on scientists at
the U.S.
Geological Survey, the latest agency subjected to controls on research
that
might go against official policy.

New rules require screening of all facts and interpretations by agency
scientists who study everything from caribou mating to global warming.
The rules
apply to all scientific papers and other public documents, even minor
reports or
prepared talks, according to documents obtained by The Associated
Press.

Top officials at the Interior Department's scientific arm say the rules
only
standardize what scientists must do to ensure the quality of their work
and give
a heads-up to the agency's public relations staff.

"This is not about stifling or suppressing our science, or politicizing
our
science in any way," Barbara Wainman, the agency's director of
communications,
said Wednesday.
"I don't have approval authority. What it was designed to do is to
improve our
product flow."

Some agency scientists, who until now have felt free from any political

interference, worry that the objectivity of their work could be
compromised.

"I feel as though we've got someone looking over our shoulder at every
damn
thing we do. And to me that's a very scary thing. I worry that it
borders on
censorship," said Jim Estes, an internationally recognized marine
biologist in
the USGS field station at Santa Cruz, Calif.

"The explanation was that this was intended to ensure the highest
possible
quality research," said Estes, a researcher at the agency for more than
30
years. "But to me it feels like they're doing this to keep us under
their
thumbs. It seems like they're afraid of science. Our findings could be
embarrassing to the administration."

The new requirements state that the USGS's communications office must
be
"alerted about information products containing high-visibility topics
or topics
of a policy-sensitive nature."

The agency's director, Mark Myers, and its communications office also
must be
told - prior to any submission for publication - "of findings or data
that may
be especially newsworthy, have an impact on government policy, or
contradict
previous public understanding to ensure that proper officials are
notified and
that communication strategies are developed."

Patrick Leahy, USGS's head of geology and its acting director until
September,
said Wednesday that the new procedures would improve scientists'
accountability
and "harmonize" the review process. He said they are intended to
maintain
scientists' neutrality.

"Our scientific staff is second to none," he said. "This notion of
scientific
gotcha is something we do not want to participate in. That does not
mean to
avoid contentious issues."

The changes amount to an overhaul of commonly accepted procedures for
all
scientists, not just those in government, based on anonymous peer
reviews. In
that process, scientists
critique each other's findings to determine whether they deserve to be
published.

>From now on, USGS supervisors will demand to see the comments of
outside peer
reviewers' as well any exchanges between the scientists who are seeking
to
publish their findings and the reviewers.

The Bush administration, as well as the Clinton administration before
it, has
been criticized over scientific integrity issues. In 2002, the USGS was
forced
to reverse course after warning that oil and gas drilling in Alaska's
Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge would harm the Porcupine caribou herd. One
week later a
new report followed, this time saying the caribou would not be
affected.

Earlier this year, a USGS scientist poked holes in research that the
Interior
Department was using in an effort to remove from the endangered species
list a
tiny jumping mouse that inhabits grasslands coveted by developers in
Colorado
and Wyoming.

Federal criminal investigators are looking into allegations that USGS
employees
falsified documents
between 1998 and 2000 on the the movement of water through the proposed
Yucca
Mountain nuclear waste dump in Nevada. The USGS had validated the
Energy
Department's conclusions that water seepage was relatively slow, so
radiation
would be less likely to escape.

At the Environmental Protection Agency, scientists and advocacy groups
alike are
worried about closing libraries that contain tens of thousands of
agency
documents and research studies. "It now appears that EPA officials are
dismantling what it likely one of our country's comprehensive and
accessible
collections of environmental materials," four Democrats who are in line
to head
House committees wrote EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson two weeks ago.
